Chapter 10: Trekking at Situbo Falls, The Final Trip.
Rolento, King II, Jin, Rhima and Lee were trekking through the Situbo Falls. Jin was impressed to see the whole surroundings and it was just like where he and his mother lived, Rolento informs them about trekking on other Asian countries.
"In other Asian countries, they have lots of trekking sites. I tried going to Luang Prabang in Laos once and trekking at Tad Sae waterfalls was harder to find the third and last waterfall which is connected between both the first and second waterfalls."
"Oh... that means if we do these kinds of trekking, Rolento. It would be a good practice of our legs. Because every time we walk something muddy or soft places, it's going to be slippery." Lee said smirking as Rhima was helped by Jin sensing some obstacles they were walking.
As soon as they arrived, they see the falls and it was larger than the previous falls they came in.
"Wow... it was beautiful. I would expect this waterfalls was nice." Lee smiled in amusement.
"I'd like to see more around in your home country, Rhima." Jin said wanted to see more around in their home country which she agrees.
"Sure... there's a lot of provinces within my home country."
Meanwhile, Hunyo and the others also managed to get through trek on the falls until they come across Rolento and Lee as King II was amused to see them here.
"Rolento, Lee, How come you two managed to get through the falls?"
"You're gonna take a long way to go, Hunyo." Rolento said snickering as Lee flickers his bangs in an elegant manner which he tells him.
"But you know, Hunyo. You can see the whole view it was beautiful."
"Well we better get going..." King II smirked as they leave as both Jin and Rhima followed them as other professors noticed them strange and asked Hunyo.
"Uh... Hunyo, is this guy looks like you?"
"Just forget it, let's trek this falls right now."
Back at the Sunset Boulevard, Rolento slurps some instant yakisoba while the others tastes the instant ramen they had eaten. It was the first time to see the game characters to eat this.
"My oh my... this yakisoba has some spice. You know we have this in my place. I can only eat this for quick breakfast." Lee said became delicious of eating a spicy chicken flavored yakisoba.
On the other side, Jin was surprised to see Rhima was eating a batchoy flavored ramen which he only eats the beef flavored ramen. He smiles to see her as both noticed many people are here to see the sunset.
"How did you know you had this instant ramen at Japan? We had a local version on it." Rhima said which Jin tells her in amusement.
"I eat this if I get hungry. That's when I was in a hurry to go to Mishima Polytechnic to avoid getting late in class."
"Wow... You really have to do that."
"Of course I do... I bring it on my school bag then finding some hot water at the cafeteria. Xiao and the others know that." Jin smiled remembering the times he was still in Mishima Polytechnic and he looked on Rhima's ramen food. "This is the first time I've seen a Filipino version of the ramen. It doesn't have one in my place."
"Say Rhima... how come so many people gathered here in this highway?" King II asked which Rhima answers.
"They came here to watch the sunset. Just like you were watching the sunset in Manila. This boulevard looks just like at my place."
"The sunset was nice. I wish if I can see this if the Manila Bay was already clean and tidy." Rolento said knowing of their place.
Upon returning to the C & L Seahorse Hotel, they were surprised to see Hunyo and the rest of the professors arrive in exhaustion and now they take break inside of the hotel. So they decided to rest for tomorrow's return to Manila.
As everyone is having a good time, Lee clears his mind by drinking some water. Behind him, a brunette woman in a short bob wearing a red diva bikini had already done swimming at the pool and to her surprise Lee was there drinking as she mumbles.
"Oooh... I would expect Mr. Lee Chaolan was on the same hotel that I was staying. Interesting..."
"I almost forgot, the spicy chicken flavor is so spicy. Just like how others complaining about Marshall Law's cooking." Lee said to himself as he remembers the time he lost to that woman who actually slaps his buttocks.
Flashback:
During the 5th tournament when Lee faces Anna Williams in battle where he beats her in the first round as he arrogantly states.
"What's wrong, Ms. Williams? Where's your attitude now?"
Lee spares her as he turned around and acting elegantly.
"I know a woman such as you can even show your flirtatious side to me."
"You know something, Mr. Lee Chaolan. I'm afraid that beating you will give you the chills." Anna said in a flirtatious tone as her fashionable hat falls and faces him in a evil smile.
However in the second round of the fight, we can see Anna beats Lee down as she sits on his back to slap his buttocks as she flirtatiously laughs.
"Hahaha... Squeal like the little piggy you are! Come on!"
Flashback over:
Lee became frustrated and embarrassed after he got beaten by a woman he had befriended and shaking his head with both of his hands.
"If Hunyo finds out about my frustrations, I know for sure, he would laugh at me on purpose!"
Seeing Lee's frustrations over Anna's dominatrix' behavior, Anna was watching him, smiling flirtatiously as she thought.
Looks like he never forgotten about what I did to him in the 5th tournament. Too bad... that I didn't tell Kazuya about the entire thing.
Final Day: 10:00 AM
They finally take a city tour around Dipolog City, looking at the church, buying sardines and looking at the fresh seafood at the pier. At Sunset Boulevard, we can see Jin and Rhima looking at the ocean knowing it was about time to get back to Manila.
"Our trip today was really good, Rhima. I almost got mad at your father for his actions until you noticed he and I we had the same look and appearance.
"It's pretty confusing because you and my dad had the same identical look. Thank God that you can disguise as somebody else."
"If it wasn't for Lee, your father would caught off guard with his colleagues." Jin said became relieved after Lee helps them out.
"It seems that our trip back to Manila will be after lunch. It's best if we get back to them." Rhima said and she saw Jin had put a bandanna and sunglasses so that they won't noticed him and he smiles to her.
"Wearing my sunglasses and a bandanna to cover my head would never see me that it was really me. They would know that I was different."
After lunch break, they finally take a trip back to Dipolog Domestic Airport where they can say goodbye to Ibrahim and Shaheen.
"I'm glad that you came here in Dipolog, Hunyo. I thank you enough to help me and Shaheen in recapturing Roe Lozano."
"Gladly that your daughter and the other fighters assist us." Shaheen said nicely to Hunyo as Lee tells him.
"I hope that idiot was in good hands to be in prison."
"By the way, where's Rolento?" Hunyo asked which Ibrahim remembers he had went to the sea port.
At the port area of Dapitan City, Rolento was watching his FJ Cruiser was along with other vehicles as he received a video call from Armor King II who is angrily complained of where he had went off too and he annoyingly yells at him because of his daughter's spoiled behavior. King II arrives and to see Rolento was panicking.
"Gosh, Rolento... you look scared or something..."
"Not this time, King. My game partner is back and he's already had enough on Kikay's shopping spree." Rolento said which surprises King II.
"Oh no...! We've better get back to your beach place, Rolento. Armor King II knows how bad you are when you leave him. Especially, his terrible behavior."
"I'll let my partner to lash me out for the time being. I know that going to Subic would be a long way to go." Rolento smirked knowing it was a very long way to get back by a ferry boat.
"I heard he went to the port area in Dapitan City to take a ferry boat through Subic."
"That's Rolento... he knows how to handle his game partner all the time. King II was just his temporary partner to help him out of this." Hunyo said which Ibrahim smiles.
"We better get going, Hunyo." Lee said as Hunyo waved goodbye to both Ibrahim and Shaheen.
As the plane takes flight back to Manila, both of them watch the scene. Behind them, Anna flickers her hair after seeing the plane leave which she happily smirks.
"So you eventually fly away. Too bad... that I easily noticed that you're here, Mr. Lee Chaolan."
Inside the plane, Lee became relieved after their trips to stay at the Dakak which makes Rhima suspicious from his actions.
"You look troubled, Mr. Lee. Is it because of a girl problem?"
"Rhima, I don't want to say anything about women. I'm trying to avoid someone who crossed the line of showing her dominatrix side."
"What dominatrix you're talking about, Lee? You sounded like you really had a huge phobia over women." Hunyo quickly teases him which Lee reacts.
"Shut up, Hunyo. It's not just about other women that I'm completely interested except for one woman who humiliate me on purpose."
"Well suit yourself, you may flirt my wife at times, but you ended up crying like baby who gets himself spanked." Hunyo said smiling causing Lee to get frustrated as they plane continues to fly back to Manila.
Back at the Panganiban Residence after their arrival in Manila, Marissa was happy to have new souvenirs that Hunyo gave her as Lee watches in sadness as he thought.
I had lots of women at my mansion at the Bahamas while I'm still taunted over Ms. Williams from one of our matches in the tournament. And now, Marissa was happy for Hunyo. I guess that I'm not destined to find the right woman for me.
"Lee, how's the trip in Dakak? I heard you're helping Rhima about something important." Marissa asked which Lee blushes in embarrassment.
"Uhhh... Well... Our trip there was fine. I've never seen to have a golf course and some beaches. I always assists Rhima whenever she knows about other tourist spots on that peninsula. So that we can go there."
Hunyo then gives Jin the shell souvenir that he bought at the Aliguay Islands which is a token of gratitude for disguising as him which surprises him.
"But, Mr. Panganiban... that's the souvenir you bought on our island trip."
"It's my token of thanks to you, Jin. Mr. Sakyo would never noticed that you and I had identical looks. Not to mentioned of why I got very mistaken by others." Hunyo said in a calm tone and soon tells him. "You should keep it."
"Thanks so much..." Jin smiled thankfully as Rhima watches to see them happy and she noticed Lee was keeping something for them as she thought.
Mr. Lee became frustrated and panic all of the sudden. Does he really had a problem or something?
At the Cashimiro Residence, Rei was writing the list of guests for the company vacation trip as Yoshimitsu reads it.
"Looks like more guests are going to that vacation? Rei, what place are you going for vacation?"
"It was in Islas de Gigantes known as the Gigantes Island at Carles, Iloilo. I'm sure everyone would enjoy the vacation. That also includes Rhima and the others."
"I'm sure the others would get a blasts if they had fun. It's a good thing that you made a invitation list."
"Not to worry, We'll make some invitation letters to send for everybody."
As the two continued to discuss about the company vacation, Anna was overhearing their conversation and smiles as she thought.
That island looks pretty interesting. I'm sure I would go there and find out. However, Nina might be there too, can't wait to have my revenge on her for killing my fiance.
With that, Anna immediately leaves the premises while flickering her hair within her short bob as it zooms back to the Cashimiro's house.
